Welcome! I'm Rockie Zeigler III. Since you may be wondering, no, Rockie isn’t my real name. It’s Roscoe (everyone asks that the first time we meet). I’m a lifelong Central Illinoisan. I grew up in Normal, then moved to Peoria when I was 18 and I’ve been here ever since. I graduated from Bradley University in 2003. I also completed studies at the College For Financial Planning.
Alright, what else? I have an amazing family. A beautiful, patient, and fun-loving wife. Four kids, Astrid (9), Murphy (7), Clarke (5) and Crosby (5). Yep, the last two are boy/girl twins.
I love Notre Dame football, Cardinals baseball, golf, and lifting weights. I’m currently trying to make myself love running as well. Some days are better than others. I’m also an expert on all things 90's music.
I’ve been featured in media outlets such as Investor's Business Daily, U.S. News & World Report, CNBC, The Huffington Post, The Peoria Journal Star, and WYZZ TV Fox 43 Peoria.
I’m a CFP® (CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™) Professional which means that I have a high level of education on topics including (but not limited to) financial planning, investments, college savings strategies, Social Security, Medicare, tax planning and estate planning. It also means that I’m held to the highest level of honesty, integrity and ethics in the industry.
I'm also an Enrolled Agent with the IRS. Yes, that IRS. What does that mean? Among other things, it means that I have unlimited rights to practice taxes before the IRS.
I'm also an author:
Mutual Funds Are So 1999: How & Why ETFs Have Disrupted the Trillion Dollar Mutual Fund Industry.
I'm also host of the Hey Peoria! Let's Talk Money Podcast & the co-host of Living Local Central IL on WMBD's podcast platform.
